Mr.. Greenwood. editor of the St Jdm,s
Gazette, London. and the editor of tie
London Morning Post. are among the
prominent and able journalists of Great
Britain who are not slobbsrring. effusiyely,
over the wisdom and righteousness of Mr..
Cleveland's utterances on tariff reform

busy Golden club people . good deal Of
trouble. When they Oracularly assert that

to show what protection has done for the
two republics. and to Great Britain to show
what free trade has not done for that coun-
try. Concerning this, the st. james Gu
zette asks:
Is it not true. that under free trade the
great body of English farmers have been
half ruined? Has not their main produce
fallen SO low In value as to make agricul-
ture improbable? Are Lo, the wages Of
laborers at the starvation point today? Has
there not been . vast depreciation of the
value Of farming property and are not the

able to find adequate employment a; any

We quote from the New York Tribune
what it says, in commenting OH this mat
ter:
This is line Of argument which Eng
lish free traders will find II difficult to meet.
The day has gone by when free trade can
be accepted as the best and the only ration
al economic system for all nations un-
der all possible conditions. Magniii-
cent results have been accomplished under
protection In the Emitted States.
Much has happened" as Mr.. Green
wood sententiOusly remarks. ''since the
time of Golden" The prophet of Man
chester predicted many things that ha g
not come to pass-namely, that wars would
cease. that one nation after another would
adopt free trade. and that England would
become almost the sole manufacturer for
the rest Of mankind. These. and manv
other prophecies have been falsitied: and
at the same time protection has laid the
foundation In America for a material pros
perity without parallel in history.

CALIFORNIA; BOOM.

The boom in California real estate
now exciting so much attention is, while
unprecedented, natural enough after
all. 1t is only within comparatively
recent period that the public has become
acquainted with the unrivaled attrac-
lions of California as a place of resi-
dence. at least during the winter time
Until personal experience proved their
VeracitY, the stories of the marvellous
California climate and the wonderful
products of the Pacific coast soil were
received with large grain of salt.
But with better railroad facilities, and
through competition, it became possible
OR people 81 even moderate means to
Sasat tae rumored wonderland. They
come and were conquered, and Califor-
7ia's boom began to incubate. Winter
residences were built, and each gave
impetus to the erection of another. The
tide of travel increased, and investment
in California lands increased with it.
The boom grew apace, and now, though
fthas assumed stupendous proportions,
it gives no sign of abating. While the
purely speculative portion of it must in
time be eliminated, there is every reason
to believe that in residence property the
climax is yet far distant.
Wealthy Americans are sensibly COM
ing to the conclusion that their own
country presents as many diversified at
fractions as foreign lands they have
been in the habit of visiting, and in de-
voting some attention to them have dis
covered that California, as winter resi-
dence, surpasses sunny Southern France
or balmy Italy. They have not been
slow to act upon the discovery and their
neat winter residences are beginning to
be seen in every rose-clustered valley.
And the end is not yet. The number
of residents of this kind must, since
, Fashion has joined with Common Sense
in decreei ng it, increase indefinitely.
And fortunate indeed is that one,
who, being able to spend his time be-
tween Minnesota and California, as the
seasons vary, may thus enjoy perfect

head, bat Seymour's superior, both in
intellect and executive ability, and
more than likely made the first ad-
vances and met her reverend lover
more than half way all through. Mrs.
Seymour seems to be hard working,
ignorant, honest woman, with very
much stunted ideas of the sacredness of
the marriage or clerical relations Of her
husband, while Editor Henry can only
be regarded as o kind of dudish calf,
without spirit enough to inspire the res
spect of his wife, or punish the man
who invaded the sanctity of his married
relations. 1t is more than likely that
Seymour by this time has realized his
folly and is willing to have no more to
do with the Henry woman, and will re-
turn to his wife and family, in which
case, there being no other opening left
for her, Mrs. Henry will return to her
husband, who will forget and forgive,
and all will be lovely, and domestic
felicity will once more reign in both
families. Sympathy for any of the par
ties concerned is jewels cast before

AS TO MRS. CLEVELAND.

What will the ladies of ST. Paul do to
entertain Mrs. CLEVELAND when she
visits st. Paul? For it will largely de-
pend upon them to see that the visit of
the presidents wife to the city which
she at one time claimed as her home is
a pleasant one.
The entertainment thus far projected
has particular reference to the presi-
dent, and is hardly of a character eS-
pecially taking to the feminine mind.
While doubtless the driving around the
city will be far from disagreeable to her,
the presidents wife would hardly enjoy
taking part in the banquet which will
be rendered her distinguished husband;
and her participation in the public re-
ception which he will probably hold
will be more of matter of duty than
enjoyment. But there should be as
great consideration shown in rendering
every moment of Mrs. CLEvELAND's
visit as pleasant to her as that of the
president will be to him.
The question is one distinctly within
the province of the st. Paul ladies, and
they have reputatioHs for hospitality
which will assure the success of any
form of entertainment they may under
take

MEN WHO TALK.
w. s. Herndon.

Hon. w. S. HERNDoN, of Texas
After serving four years in the army
during our little trouble and four yearsi in
congress, came to the conclusion that
it was time for me to put aside something
for rainy day for my family. and have
resumed my law practice. No one re-
grets more than myself the defeat OF
prohibition at our recent election III
Texas, but it has not been gener-
ally disseminated how such re-
suit was brought about. The ma
jority against prohibition was upwards
of 10000, and the saloon element pOlled
$1,000 out of 10000 negro voters, and OF
the foreign element in our borders, up
wards of 7S,0CO voted for whisky, not
a thousand of these people being for
prohibition. 1t can readily be seen
from these figures where the liquor men
were strong, and, besides, a million and
half dollars were sent into the state for
distribution where they would do the
most good. One million was voted out
right by the National Liquor League to
defeat prohibition in the Lone Star state.
Unless the Republicans put up make
like Roscoe CONKLING as their stand
ard bearer 1 regard the election OF
CLEVELAND as almost sure. l confess,
however, that Mr.. CoNKLING'S record
would be hard to beat, for he is known
from one end of the country to the
other as an incorruptible statesman, and
unless we could close up certain breaks
in our ranks he would defeat even
CLEVELAND in New York state. The
trouble with us has been that
we have failed to keep our prom
ises concerning the revision OF the
tariff and the reduction of the
treasury surplus, two features that we
pledged ourselves to in our platform.
Unquestionably, though, Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND is the strongest man in our party,
and it would be the height of folly to
think of nominating any one else as the
head of the Democratic ticket in 1883.
He is not satisfactory to certain wire
pullerS and Office-SeekerS, but the
masses repose implicit confidence IN
him, and this is going to be his strongest
hold in the next election.

Fred Close.

FRED CLOSE, of Sibley, Io.-The En-
glish colony, established few years
since at this charming spot, is one of
the most f1ourishing settlements in this
country, and, while the hearts of the
people always throb in unison with
their brethren across the water, they
feel that their own interests demand a
compliance with the manners and Gus
toms of their adopted country. English
sports are fostered, however, in every
conceivable degree, and cricket and fox
hunting still keep alive the demand
for recreation of the most manly
description. New buildings of the most
substantial character are going up on
every hand, and the state of Iowa will
never have cause to be ashamed of its
Anglo-American settlers. Naturally
thrifty and industrious, the people are
determined not to be outdone by any
rival town, and every Improvement that
science or art can suggest will be util-
lied in making Sibley one of the
prettiest towns in the state.

AMERICAN OPERA.

There seems to be little doubt that the
American Opera company has at last
gone to the wall to stay. The financial
difficulties that have hampered the en-
terprise from its conception have proven
too great for it to surmount and the COM
pany is now a thing of the past. The
trouble seems to have been that the
undertaking did not meet with the con-
fidence of the public. Complied with
this detrimental feature was a reckless
extravaganza in the management, which
Of itself was sufficient to wreck the en-
terpriSe. Nominally American the men,
bers of the company were chiefly of
foreign birth.
The American people don't object to
being humbugged when it is done clev-
erly, but they do resent transparent
case of false pretenseS which is an in
suit to their intelligence. So from the
first the large cities of the East, where
the company naturally expected the
greatest measure of its support, the in
tereSt shown was lukewarm, and, finan-
Cially speaking, entirely Inadequate.
But. considering the enthusiastic favor
with which the undertaking was greeted
IN the more appreciative West, that OBJ
Stacle might have been overcome had
NOS the managers undertaken to do too
much. If they had been less ambitious.
If they had been content to walk before
running they probably would not have
stumbled, but would have eventually
reached their goal.
But for an entirely untried company
to try to present standard opera, with a
sumptuousnesS and gorgeousness of
accessories and equipment which not
one of the old companies attempt, was
certainly an error of business judg-
ment. There is plenty of material in

THE STREAM.

A fair child plays by the mountain spring,
Cooling the songs the bobolink sings,
Not Il thought of guile, or shadow of care,
To cloud the innocent brow SO fair,
While the spring flows on
Heart as light as the morning air,
No faint of sin nor shade of care,
To cloud the beautiful brow SO fair;
And the spring flows on.
A 1.-THE youth walks by the sparkling stream,
Watching the silvery waters CLEAN,
His heart still pure as its waters are,
Unyexed by the ruth of single care,
While the stream flows ON.
Dreaming as one i'll morning Dream,
Lazily watching the laughing stream
Sporting its way i'll the MONDAY beam,
And the stream flows on.
A strong man stands by the river side,
ThOughtfully watching the fretful tide,
His shoulders stopped by the toll of years
His broad brow bent with the bale of cares
While the stream flows on.
His stature bent by the mol of years.
Heart half sick with its gathering cares,
And eyes bedimmed by unbidden tears,
And the tide flows on.
An old man waits on the ocean shore,
Counting the years that have gone before,
Waiting there for the ship to come
To bear him away to his final home,
While the tide flows on.
Longingly waiting the ship to come
10 bear him across to his long, long home
While the day grows dark in the evening S
gloam,
And the tide rolls on.

Hon. p. I'll. Kelly,

Hon. P. ii. Kelly-If the railroads
woaId consent to reduction of rates we
could draw great deal more people to
our state fair, but the policy now in
vogue keeps hundreds away that would
otherwise avail themselves of an excur-
sion rate. 1t would be much better to
bring thousands of people from
remote parts of the state, say
at a half or three-quarters of
cent mile than to drag along few
dozen at twice that amount. But as it
now stands the farmers and people most
interested are kept at home or else
driven to the establishment of local
fairs and the Hamline institution is
sufferer in consequence for lack of
foresight on the part of the railroad
officials.

Never Forgiyes a Culprit.

LIE Roy Independent.
Judge Wilson's disclosure of the
double-dealing, fraudulent conduct and
perfidy of the attorney, agents and lob
byists for the Minnesota Construction
company, in defrauding the state out of
million dollars of tax upon their land,
has stirred up the animals-Gen. Cole,
the late Attorney General Hahn, Gov.
McGill, Russell Sage and SeIa Chamber
lain-to boiling heat. This same
crew, who have, in connection with the
Chicago, Milwaukee IL st. Paul railway
company, controlled this state and run
its finances in their interest, no doubt
would have Congressman Wilson in
dicted under the penal code for SANDER
ing corp Grafton were it not that other
great rival railway systems will see to
it that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul may no longer run the politics of
the state in its special interest. Judge
Wilson's disclosure is opportune and
conclusive, and the people of this state
are prepared to believe that the whole
pack are capable of doing just the thing
charged. They have not forgotten who
got away with our magnificent school
fund, nor never will. The public once
beaten never forgets nor forgiveS cul-

Impeach Him II Guilty.

OpTluS v diley flueLCo.
G. p. Carpenter, editor of the Farm
ington Tribune, was the enrolling clerk
of the house at the time the one million
tax-abatement bill passed, and he edi-
torlally charges that Gov. McGill ''signed
the fraudulent bill thus knowingly,
making himself party to the fraud"
Could anything more terrible and damn
ing be charged against a public officer?
Mr.. Carpenter says the governor
knowingly made himself party to
the fraud" If A. r. McGill lies down
under this Infamous charge there can
be but one sentiment among honest
men, and that is: 'she is guilty." The
Vidette cannot believe that the govern
or is guilty as charged, and we await
his explanation with great solicitude.
This is no light and tritiing thing. This
charge cannot be laughed out of court.
''Silent contempt and ''Sneers" are of
no avail. The two horns of the diem
ma are presented to the governor.
One or the other he must take. If the
forgery was pointed out to the gov
ernOr by Senator Bowen, of Sleepy Eye,
and then the governor signed the fraud
ulent bill, as Mr.. Carpenter asserts, A.
X. McGil should resign the Office so ter
ribly disgraced by him, or be speedily
impeached. This one million steal and
glazing forgery" have aroused this
state beyond all adequate description.
An extra session of the legislature is
imminent. Gov. McGill, if innocent,
will demand an instant and thorough
investigation. If guilty, his impeach-
ment is demanded by a people outraged
and robbed,

What About the Check?

Lake Crystal Union.
The question naturally arises why did
not Gov. McGill wait before signing the
land tax bill after Senator Bowen in
formed him that the bill was not as it
passed the senate. but had been doctored
after its passage? Another peculiar
feature about the transaction is. what
authority has the state auditor of
great state like Minnesota to re-
ceive from railroad corpora
ton certified check for $50,
Was this sum given in good faith by the
company, acknowledging their indebt-
edness to the state, and in case the bill
should fail to become law for reliev-
ing them from taxes, that this sum was
to apply On their taxes? Ifso, what was
done with the certified check? We
merely rise to inquire. The great state
of Minnesota has no need to be truck
ling with railroad corporations, neither
has its officers any business of receiving
checks from them only through the
proper channel. Business is business.

Spring Valley Vidette.
The Seymour-Henry elopement at
GAINESVILLE, Mimi, bids fair to revolu-
tlonlze the time-honored practice of
pastoral visits-that is, the practice of
preachers visiting the sisters in order to
renew their spiritual strength, and to
see that the love of God is shed abroad
in their hearts. The Vidette is panied
that pastoral visits have blighted
SO many homes, caused such
numberless Opponents, ruined count
less families and brought such
reproach upon the cause of Christ: but
the tares and the wheat will grow to-
gether. Some day, though, we shall all
be born again, and there will be no
more elopements nor running away any
more: The Sister Henry will not be
found in the Storage, and Brother
Seymour will not be Jailed: there will
be no pursuing editors there, nor police
men; for We'll all be on one grand
